Well, I've been back in the United States for over two weeks now and it seems like I left Italy 5 years ago. All of the rest of my crew left Italy and came back to America today and now we have to only have the memories. I have felt so distant from everyone and its been really hard coming back. It's definitely a wonderful feeling seeing the people I love and catching up with all of my friends, but it hasn't been easy. Luckily, I've had some great things to keep me busy and keep my mind off of missing it. I am a little (a lot) late writing about Brooke's wedding but it was so beautiful and such a great time and there were too many pictures not to share. So here are some highlights from the weekend that I got back to Kentcuky. </div>

Brooke, thank you for asking me to be a part of your wedding and stand next to you as you became a Mrs. I'm so lucky to have friends like you three that stand by me through everything. It's rare to have people that you can go four months without seeing and immediately pick up as though you were never apart and I am so glad to say that that is how we always have been and always will be. You were the most beautiful bride and I am so happy for you and Ryan and am excited to see you start this new chapter in your life. </div>

I was greeted at the airport by my parents, Rose, Aunt Ruthie, Big John and of course, Howie. It felt so good to be home but I am already missing my home in Italy. I'm sure it will take me a while to get used to being away from my Italian girls since they've all I've seen for the past four months. It definitely felt weird using the US dollar, using cellular data and being around nothing but English. However, it's nice having all of my favorite foods, being able to drive myself around and having all of my clothes in one closet. Thank you, everyone, for making me feel welcome back in the States. Brooke, I am more than excited to be back to stand next to you as you marry your soul mate this Saturday! Let the reverse culture shock and jet lag begin!<br />

Wow, I have no idea where to even begin. My amazing four months in Italy have come to an end and I can honestly say that it has flown by. I knew going into this that it would come and go in the blink of an eye but I still was not prepared for how quickly my goodbyes would have to come. Preparing for this experience I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know how school would be, I didn't know how Milan would be, where I would be living, how I would get along with the girls, what I would be doing, etc. I couldn't even begin to imagine what I was getting myself into and after being here for four months I can say that every little expectation I had has been exceeded. Studying abroad has without a doubt been the best decision I've ever made in my life and I have absolutely no regret. Thank you to everyone at home who has supported me through all of this. I would be nowhere if it weren't for each of you. If I would've told you 4 years ago that I would live in Europe for four months with no one I knew, none of you would've believed me. Believe it or not, I have officially said goodbye to the shy little girl with glasses who whispered everything to her mom because she was too scared to talk to people. I am so thankful for all of the love, encouragement and prayers that have shaped me into the outgoing, independent, crazy young woman that I am today. God has had his hand on this and prepared this journey for me from the first education abroad information session that I went to during freshman orientation.</div>

I want to start by sharing an article that has taken the words out of our mouths. A month ago as the girls and I were sitting in the living room, eating gelato after an evening out enjoying Design Week when Christine came across this article that summed up our experience perfectly. We couldn't even bare to read it all because we were in tears. </div>

How lucky am I to have been able to leave one of the best schools in America to study at one of the best schools in Europe? IED is one of the coolest environments that I have ever been a part of. It was a dream to be able to study Photography, Fashion Photography, Art, Italian, etc for an entire semester. Classes may have been 2-3 hours but its hard to complain when you get to sit and learn about Gucci, Vogue and all things fashion every week. Not only were the classes interesting, but we were able to take them with students from all over the world. We shared classes with people from Germany, Colombia, China, you name it. Everyone was so nice and welcoming to us "American girls" who awkwardly showed up in their classes. We took field trips to Gucci, ItalDenim, Mantero as well as several excursions sight-seeing around Milan. UK is a great school and will always be my home but I'll forever love my European Design School.</div>

Thank you to all my teachers for expanding my knowledge of things that I am so passionate about. Bruno, thank you again for making our time on campus so much easier and worry-free. You really helped us fit right in even though we stuck out like 9 sore thumbs. To all of the friends that I made in class, you always have a place to stay if you ever find yourself in the United States. </div>

My last weekend here in Milan has been nothing short of incredible. Unfortunately, I had to say my goodbyes to the Christines, Stefanie and Megan early, but Tina and Deb have been by my side letting me spend my last hours here however I want to spend them. It's been hard but I tried to cram it all in before my final farewell. It is only fitting that us three were the only ones in the group who hadn't climbed to the top of the Duomo, so Friday night that's what we did. We went to the top just as the sun was setting and had the most amazing view. It was a sight I'll never forget. Thank you, girls, for making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world and for spending my last few days with me making music videos, eating cannolis and laughing til we cried.</div>

I had a perfect room with an incredible view and an even better closet. I was fortunate to get one of the biggest beds which was shared with my girls from time to time. I also had one of the biggest rooms in the apartment that turned into being the home for many late night heart to hearts with my five fabulous roommates. Our living room may have been small, with one couch, some beach chairs and a TV the size of my laptop, but I'll never love a living room more than that one. Many days and nights were spent crammed in there watching The Bacehlor/Bachelorette, How to Get Away With Murder, Eye Candy and every genre of movie you can imagine. While other people were out traveling or experiencing the night life, we had our own night life in our pajamas with our ice cream binge watching shows. I wouldn't trade anything for all of the dinners that we had together in that small kitchen that we reorganized eight times before it was perfect. When I was grieving the loss of a friend, you brought us all together for dinner as a family and were there for support. Whenever it was 4am and we were just rolling in from a night out and we all just wanted to eat cookies, there we were. The door lady and every other resident in that complex may have hated our American guts but it will forever be something we can laugh about. We never have to worry about the "rubbish" being separated or cleaned correctly again and we never have to fit only three at a a time in an elevator. I may be leaving you all early and that room may be empty, but I'm still there in spirit. My home in Regina Margherita would have just been a room that meant nothing to me if you all weren't living in the rooms surrounding me.<br />

I guess you could say it was love at first sight for us, right? I still to this day don't know how we, out of all people, ended up sitting right next to each other on our flight over here. That huge plane filled with people from all over the world and I sit down next to you.. only God can be behind that. I knew as soon as we introduced ourselves that we were going to be friends, and I wasn't wrong. You are one of the biggest worry-warts I have ever met in my life met but that's what makes you, you. How do you worry so much but stay so cool? Don't ever change your style because it fits you perfectly. I'll never have cooler pictures than you because that red hair hair flip makes every picture. Just put it on chrome and every one you take will turn out perfectly. I'm so sad that we won't be able to travel together anymore for a while. Who am I going to look at and say "omg look at that"? Thank you for being one of my biggest supporters and a bff from the first hello.<br />

Every story I tell, you have one that's so similar it's almost scary. We are so alike in so many ways and it is a bond that will never die due to distance. You may be a hop, skip and 6,000 jumps away from Kentucky but we will always be close in our hearts. The day we spent in Venice together was one of the best days of my life. I couldn't believe that I was lucky enough to be taking a casual day trip to Venice but to take it with one of my best friends made it that much better. I could sit and talk to you for hours about the most random things and never get bored. You are so easy to get along with and I am so thankful for all the times you listened to me tell ridiculous stories. Please send me text messages so long that they turn into notes and that it takes me 4 days to respond to. I never want our good conversations to end. Thank you for reaching out to me the day before we flew here. I had a good feeling about this whole experience just from the few text messages we sent each other a few hours prior to meeting everyone.<br />

Christine AND Tina I'm going to miss running into you all in our little shared bathroom, the many, many "body showers"and not knowing if the people in the building next door can see us. Sharing a toilet with you will be hard to move on from..hahaha.</div>

You have been the backbone behind almost every trip we have taken and I am so thankful for that. Lord knows we would still be stuck in Dublin if I were in charge of planning these trips. Seeing you cry as we said goodbye was so heartbreaking. I am so glad we have been living next door to each other for four months. I am so glad we were able to celebrate your birthday here in Milan. I am also so glad that I was able to see you experience Disney for the first time. Seeing you that happy was such a joy to watch. You have such a bright personality, don't ever let insecurities take that away from you. Anyone that meets you would immediately love you just based off of your cute smile. Thank you for always being there to hug me or make me laugh.<br />

Please continue to sprint across the hall even when I am not there. I am going to miss texting you from my room instead of just simply opening my door to see you. Every time I eat a bowl of corn-falakes for dinnhair I will think about you. Every time I sit down to watch TV and forget my glasses, I'll think of you. Ameretto gelato will be my favorite forever, not just because its freaking delicious, but because we love it together. You have made me laugh way more times than I could think of and I never want that to end. I will always remember the times we spent tanning, the runs we took together, the embarrassing snap chats and all of the clothes we shared. I feel like you're a little sister that I don't get tired of. Enjoy your time in Long Island but feel free to visit Kentucky anytime.<br />

My sweet, sweet LoLo. There is nothing I love more than hearing your laugh all the way from my end of the apartment. Every time I hear you laugh, I have to know what it is because I know it's gotta be funny. I will never eat Mcdonald's french fries without thinking about you. Lets face it, I will never be able to eat a good meal again and not wish you were there to try it. You are going to be the best/hottest food critic, history teacher, fashionista on the planet. If I ever make a lot of money one day, I will personally hire you to live with me and cook me dinner. I have so many great memories of you and with you and I can see myself now saying something that I think is funny wishing you were there to laugh at it and make me feel better about myself.I hope you go back to Milan and carry on our legacy and even if you don't, I will be in Baltimore or Atlanta faster than I can say "OH SHOOT".<br />

We really hit the jackpot with our class selection. There was nothing better than our private tours around Milan by the cutest teacher at IED. I don't think I will ever love a Monday morning 9am class more. You are going to kill it at FIT this year. Make us all jealous with your fabulous NYC life. I hope to visit you soon and so you can show me all the best spots in and out of the city and so we can take kickboxing classes together.<br />

You have the best attitude toward everything and have such an amazing outlook on life. You are going to do great things not only because you are crazy talented but because you have the biggest heart and everyone will love you. Don't ever let anyone take away your spontaneity and your drive to do whatever the heck you want. I can't wait to visit Cooperstown, eat at your Dad's restaurant and do all things baseball. Save a room for me. <br />

My little Brazilian baby. You have the cutest voice that I have ever heard and it fits perfectly with the cute, beautiful person that you are. I know that you are going to be a famous blogger soon enough. Keep your bubbly personality, adorable smile and big heels and everyone will fall in love with you. Thank you for teaching us all how to make the best Brazilian dessert ever and for making our nights together even better because of it.<br />

I can't stress enough how blessed I feel to have come here and made lifelong friends. Never in a million years did I think that I would make even one lifelong friend here, let alone 8. I thank God every day for bringing each and every one of you into my life. I couldn't have hand-picked better girls to experience these last four months with. I have enough pictures and videos to look at for the rest of my life but even better than that, I have endless memories with each and every one of you. I don't even want to think about all the nights that I'll be in Kentucky browsing through my phone and crying remembering all of the times we had together. Luckily I can laugh at a lot of it to keep from crying. My heart is breaking because I never want this chapter in my life to end. I am truly thankful for every single one of you and I could never thank God enough for the bonds that we have made. We may be going our separate ways for now, but I know that we will all meet up again soon and whether or not that happens sooner or later, our souls will forever be tied together. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have danced under the Eiffel Tower, kayaked in Croatia, driven a four wheeler through Greece, hiked two towns of Cinque Terre, paddleboarded in the Amalfi Coast, salsa danced with Colombians, pub crawled with the Irish and cheered on a soccer match in Barcelona but it is officially time for me to return to my Old Kentucky Home. I could go on for hours about everything I will miss about this city but no one wants to read that and I don't want to cry more than I already have. I may be gone but half of my heart will forever be in Milan, Italy. This may be goodbye for now but it really is just a see you later. Thank you for the best four months of my life. </div>

This past weekend was my last full weekend in Europe, sadly. I can't bare the thought of leaving my girls or leaving Italy in general, so to make the most of our time left, we headed to Barcelona, Spain for the weekend. Thursday night, my Regina Margherita girls and I boarded our flight for our last trip together. We've had this one planned for a couple of months and have all been looking forward to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday, we spent the day touring. We started our morning with Starbucks (shocker), and headed off to Park Guell. This landmark in Barcelona is one of the most visited spots. With an amazing view of the city and ocean, beautiful gardens and amazing architecture it is a must-see.</div>

On Saturday, we got to spend the morning on the beach relaxing. The beaches in Barcelona were nonexistent until 1992 when they brought over Egyptian sand to attract tourists for the world cup. Being on a sandy beach was certainly a nice change compared to the rocky ones that we have visited in Italy. </div>

To top off our relaxing Saturday, we headed to see a Barcelona Futbol game that evening. I know absolutely nothing about soccer but there are very few things I enjoy more than big sporting events. This game happened to be the last of the season and was one of their most loved player's, Xavi's last game. It was such an amazing experience to see how soccer is around the world and how much people live and breathe this sport. </div>

I have enjoyed each and every trip spent with these girls and wouldn't trade a second of them for anything. We may have terrible luck when it comes to direction, transportation, you name it, but they've made for memories that I'll have forever. Thanks, Barce for another amazing weekend. </div>

Sadly, my time in Italy is winding down. I am trying my best to fit everything in during these last couple weeks that I have left as well as finish up my schoolwork. Earlier on in our time here, Christine, Christine and Megan all visited Venice and since we were not traveling anywhere this weekend, Tina and I decided to take advantage of a Saturday off and go ourselves. We picked the perfect time to do it, too. We had beautiful weather and we were able to roam around Venice at our own pace with no worries. We arrived in Venice around 12:30 and took the ferry on the Grand Canal over to the San Marco area, which is the main square in town. We spent the whole day wandering around, going in and out of shops and stopping to take photos along the way.</div>

Tina really wanted to buy a hat and when we first got to Venice, we started looking for one. At the first place we stopped at I saw one hat and just tried it on, because why not? As soon as I put it on, I knew I had to get it. I was already wearing my own hat that I had brought, but I needed this one. And as if my own intuition wasn't enough, there was a lady standing there watching me and she looked at me and goes, "That hat was made for you and I don't say that to anyone. You have to get that." She went on and on about how I had to buy that hat. I put it on and she said "I'm taking your picture to send to my girlfriends and I am going to tell them you are a model from Venezuela". So, needless to say, I bought the hat. Sadly, Tina never found one she liked haha. </div>

Without even knowing, we had walked all the way back to the train station and since we still had a couple hours before our train left, we relaxed by the water and enjoyed the last bit of our day. Everything went perfectly and Tina and I had the best day together. Thanks, Venice. You exceeded every expectation that I had and then some.</div>

We finally made it to one of the most beautiful places in Italy, Cinque Terre! The night before, we got back from Rome after 11pm and then caught the morning train at 6:55 which left little time for sleep but somehow we managed. Cinque Terre stands for "The Five Lands" which are Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Our first stop of the day was Manarola. We stopped in this area just for a little bit to walk up the mountain and along the coast to get some photos. This area is one of the best views in all of Italy. </div>

To our surprise, a couple of our friends (Betsy and Lexi) that we had met in Greece were on this trip as well. Christine and I had been wanting to visit these girls in Florence before they headed back to the US, but it was looking like we weren't going to be able to fit it in. Since we weren't going to be able to see them again, we were so so happy to see them unexpectedly in Cinque Terre. We are so glad we got to meet you all in Greece, girls!</div>

We then caught the train and headed to Vernazza to grab some lunch. Our Bus2Alps guides recommended a fried seafood place. It was a little hole-in-the-wall but had the best food. Tina and I LOVE seafood and are always looking for the best places. We had a mix of cod, calamari, shrimp, mussels, and veggies. </div>

After lunch, the guide took us on the hiking trail that led from Vernazza to Monterosso. Natalie and I were towards the back and got away from the group once we got started because we kept stopping to get photos. It was such a gorgeous hike with breathtaking scenery. The hike took about two hours and was worth every minute. We even stopped to get some freshly squeezed lemonade along the way. </div>

Ignore the water spots from the GoPro on some of these pictures. After an amazing day relaxing on the beach, we headed back to Vernazza before catching our train back to Milan to have some dinner. Most of us got a pesto dish since pesto is the famous dish of Cinque Terre. We had an amazing view of the sun setting on the water as we enjoyed our last little bit of the day. </div>

After a busy day having a great time at the Expo, the girls and I all headed to bed early to rest up for our day trip to Rome on Saturday. Andrea worked with us and planned out a nice day for us to see as much as we could in the one day we had to spend in Rome. We took the earliest train that morning and got to work. As typical tourists, we planned on doing a "Hop on hop off" bus tour. Since there was a big morning crowd, Andrea walked us around a little bit on our own to start off. We made our way to our fist stop, the Spanish steps.</div>

We continued our walk to the Trevi Fountain. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing part of our trip. The Trevi Fountain is under construction and will not be fixed until later in the year. They still had a small bowl of water for tourists to throw their coins into, but it just wasn't the same.</div>

Today, Andrea took all of us girls to the event to get a taste of what it was like. None of us knew what to expect, we only knew a little bit about it from what our Italian teacher had explained to us. We were all a little overwhelmed when we first arrived because we didn't know where to begin. There were so many different things to see, different foods to eat, and different cultures to experience. Since it was around lunchtime, we all split up and got some food. Christine, Christine, Megan and I went the American pavilion (really branched out). The American theme for food was "Food Truck Nation". Chris and I got pulled pork sandwiches and Christine and Megan got burgers. </div>

Another boring weekend has gone by with nothing new to see, no adventures and no good stories to tell. Or just the opposite.. this past weekend was arguably the best weekend we have spent in Europe. While every trip seems to get better, this one may have topped them all. Stefanie, Tina, Debra, Natalie, Megan, both Christines and I had the pleasure of spending the weekend on the beach in the Amalfi Coast. On Thursday afternoon, we caught a train to Florence to catch our bus ride to Sorento. We were scheduled to have about a 6 hour bus ride and arrive at our place around 1am. Well, unfortunately, we don't have the best track record with traveling and this trip did not break that streak. At about 11pm, our bus got a flat tire and had to pull over on the side of the highway. We waited for assistance for a couple of hours but they weren't able to help. They had to call for backup and send a replacement bus to bring us the rest of the way. They tried to keep us entertained by playing The Notebook and Good Will Hunting but that didn't really help the torture of waiting on another bus on the side of the highway for 7 hours. But, the bus finally came and we got to our bungalow village hotel by about 8am on Friday. </div>

After breakfast, we were able to catch a bus to the towns and beaches of Positano. We got dropped off at the top of the mountain and were able to see the town as we made our way down to the beach. Positano is one of the most beautiful spots in Italy with their picturesque mountains lined with colorful houses all facing the Mediterranean. We had amazing weather that day and we were able to relax on the beach, shop around and even paddle board. The water was a little chilly but felt so good after being out in the sun all day. Paddleboarding was an amazing time. Some of the girls didn't know if it was worth it since the water was kind of cold and since we didn't have a lot of time. But, we all ended up doing it together and no one regretted it. </div>

After running on basically no sleep and spending an amazing day climbing mountains, laying on the beach, shopping and swimming in the Mediterranean, we headed back for all-you-can-eat pasta, pizza and salad, went to bed and called it a day. </div>

On Saturday, we got up bright and early and took a ferry over to Capri. While we were there we got to take a two hour boat ride to see the famous rocks coming out of the sea, many different grottos (including the world famous tourist attraction, The Blue Grotto), and were able to jump in and swim a little. (Only Natalie, Christine and I were brave enough since it was cloudy, chilly and freezing waters, but how could we pass it up?)</div>

After the boat ride, the sun came out and we made our way back to Capri and we were able to explore around the city a little bit. The city center was actually a little hike up the mountain, so after we grabbed a quick lunch we headed to see the view from up there. The walk wasn't too bad and definitely was worth it. The scenery along the way was beautiful and even more beautiful at the top.</div>

The Amalfi coast is FULL of lemons. They grow them everywhere. Since lemonade is one of my favorite things in life, I had to try something with lemons while we were there. At the center of the city in Capri, they were selling frozen lemonades. Now, most of the time in Italy when you order a large drink, its about what a small would be in America, but when I saw someone with an actual LARGE lemonade, I was sold. I've had a lot of frozen lemonades in my day, but this one beat them all.<br />

After another wonderful day out, we went out for dinner and went dancing at the English Inn that was recommended by all of the EuroAdventures guides. We had been so exhausted after doing so many things and not getting much sleep, but once we got to the dancefloor we all had the absolute best time together. All of a sudden no one was tired and we had a blast. Easily the best night we've had out and it couldn't have been spent with better people.</div>

Our last day on our trip was spent in Pompeii. Luckily, the first Sunday of every month is free so we were able to roam around and see what we wanted to on our own without paying. It was truly a sight to see and something worth spending money on (even though we didn't have to). We grabbed a quick lunch after walking out, grabbed one more frozen lemonade and headed back to Florence. </div>

We have officially entered the month of May meaning it is my last few weeks here in Milan. None of us can even bring it up because we all get too emotional, but as long as we keep having weekends like these, it'll be one heck of a month. I'm just trying to soak in every second I have left and not think about having to leave. Until then... KEEP THE ADVENTURES COMING! </div>

I want to start this post by giving a big 23rd birthday shout out to my favorite (only) brother, Ryan. This is the first time I haven't been able to celebrate your birthday with you. I hate so badly that I wasn't able to go to the Reds game on Sunday with you, Meghan, Mamaw, Papaw, Bob, Kiki, Dad and Rose. I know you all had a great time and Bob reassured me that it was only because I was there in spirit ;). No, but seriously, I love you and hope you had a great day and can't wait to celebrate with you at the Shania Twain concert in August. I love you, bubby. </div>

So, our next adventure began on Thursday evening. Debra, Tina and I took off to the train station to meet the Bus2Alps group for our trip to Croatia. Christine was supposed to join us but unfortunately, she had a last minute class scheduled and had to stay back to do work. And our other girls, Megan and Christine O'Keeffe headed to Munich, Germany for Springfest. So we had to go our separate ways for a couple of days and we all missed each other, but we all had a good time. </div>

Debra and Tina and I took our 12 hour overnight bus ride to Croatia and arrived at our hostel in Split at about 9am Friday morning. I walked into the bathroom in our hostel and the first thing I see sitting on the sink is a bottle of soap named Carli. HOW COOL THAT I'M NAMED AFTER CROATIAN SOAP?!</div>

The weather was cloudy and chilly but we still enjoyed the day. We started with walking around the city, going through the markets and tried to figure out our way around the center. At 3pm we went on a walking tour of the city which is always a must when visiting new cities. She took us around the palace and shared some history about the town. Deb was mostly interested in the Game of Thrones connections that the city has (which I know nothing about). After our walking tour, the sun started to come out so we got some dinner at a local spot near the water. The currency in Croatia is Kunas and is a lot cheaper than using Euros. Our dinner cost us about 150 kunas combined, which is only 20 euros. We were pretty happy about this considering everything in Italy is so much more expensive. </div>

One of the tour guides from Bus2Alps had told us about a spot along the water where you could watch the sunset. We started walking and found the signs that led to the spot. We walked up a few stairs and came to this gorgeous view of the city of Split with the water and the mountains. Thinking we had found the place they were talking about, we ran into some Americans who kept running past the place where we were. We asked them how much further the view was and they weren't sure so we just kept walking. The sun was about 30 minutes from setting so we figured we had plenty of time. After we had walked up a ton of stairs, we started to wonder if we would make it in time. We asked someone how much longer it would take and he estimated about 6 minutes. Well, I don't know if he ran up those stairs or what, but we had over 300 more stairs to climb and it took us a little more than 6 minutes. Almost ready to turn around, we continued walking up since we had already come so far. And it was so worth every bit of it. We were all so glad that we didn't turn around because that place was incredible. At the top of the stairs stood a giant cross in front of the most gorgeous view of the mountains and the sun setting over the water. Just before getting there it had hit me that it had already been a week since we lost Jon and as soon as I saw that cross, he was the first person I thought of. I couldn't believe it had already been a week since that awful day, but I know he would be living every day to the fullest and would want me to do the same.</div>

The next day we were scheduled to go kayaking. We met where everyone was supposed to meet and we found out that we were the only ones who still wanted to go. The weather was perfect. It was sunny and 70 the whole day. The bus driver took us to the shore where we met our guides and two other women who were vacationing in Croatia from Colorado. The guides took us on about a 3 hour ride where we stopped a couple times along the way on some small beaches to look around and get some pictures. The water was too cold so we didn't swim, but it was the most beautiful thing I have ever done in my life. Debra couldn't quite get the hang of paddling but she hung in there and still enjoyed the whole experience. Since we were an odd number, I rode with one of the guides. She was so so sweet. She spoke pretty good English but only spoke it better than she understood it so I didn't do most of the talking. But, riding with her was so enjoyable because as we rode along she was able to point out things to me and tell me more about the area. She also told me how she wakes up every morning and swims 2km and in her free time volunteers to help animals. Loved her. </div>

After we got back from Kayaking, we were in the center of the city and since it was a Saturday, a bunch of things were happening in the streets. Debra said she smelled funnel cakes and I immediately went on a hunt for them. As Bob and Kiki know, funnel cakes are my WEAKNESS. I LOVE THEM. So we walked over and find out that its not a funnel cake, they are funnel balls covered in sugar, cinnamon and Nutella. We all fell in love. As we sat and ate these funnel cake balls, looking at the Adriadtic Sea, after getting back from Kayaking in 70 degrees and sunny weather, we decided that that moment was easily top 3 best moments of our lives. </div>

That evening, we were scheduled to take a bus to another island to get some dinner and see the area. Unfortunately not enough people wanted to go so we just stayed around Split. Although we wanted to go see something different, we still had an amazing evening. We were craving good seafood so we walked around and tried to find a good seafood restaurant. We found the cutest empty restaurant and had the best food that we had had all weekend (minus the funnel cake balls). We all had steak with salmon and shrimp and it was to die for. That Saturday in Croatia was one of the best days of my life. </div>

Sunday morning, we got up early to head to see the waterfalls of Krka National Park. This park was on our way home so we drove about an hour to the waterfalls and then from there took the rest of the 11 hours home. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful. We would've loved to have been able to swim in them, but unfortunately it was still too cold. But, it was still so worth visiting. </div>

This morning after coming home from class, I received a text from Ben Thompson asking if he could call me. Nothing totally out of the ordinary, but I knew it was late in Kentucky so it was a little strange. My heart immediately dropped when I answered the phone and he said to me "Carli. I have to tell you something." He went on to tell me that one of our very good friends, Jon Krueger had just been walking home and got shot and killed by people trying to rob him. In complete shock, I didn't know what to say and I didn't want to believe it. My heart was broken. As I sat there and watched Ben start sobbing, I couldn't hold back my tears. All I could do is try to believe that this hadn't happened. I just repeatedly said "no." After Ben reassured me that it was true, we cried together for a good while. I didn't know what to say or do, but just cry with him. For the next four hours, and in this very second, I can do nothing but cry. I still cannot wrap my mind around what has happened, but the only thing to do is remember Jon as the amazing person that he was and pray for God to hold us in this time.<br />

Jon,<br />
<br />
You were one of the first people I became friends with at UK. I still remember the first times we were around each other. All I knew about you was that Luke liked you so I knew you must be a good guy. I remember being with you, Luke and Natalie constantly. There was never a time when one of us wasn't together. What was amazing was that you still hung out with us even though we loved making fun of your northern Ohio accent. Gah, I'm going to miss that accent. And that smile. Even when we were making fun of you, you still were smiling. Even through all of your knee pain, you still smiled. I can't picture you at all without that smile.<br />
<br />
I loved looking for you at every sporting event. You were always there, on the sidelines with your camera. I could pick you out even from the last row at the very top of Rupp Arena. I could pick you out in a sea of orange in Knoxville watching Kentucky play football. I could spot you through the whole student body on State Street. You were always ready and willing to take photos for me. Thank you for that. The Kernel lost the best photographer they've ever had today.<br />
<br />
I remember one of the last times I spent with you. I was in the Student Center grabbing lunch and all of the seats were taken at the Beta table so you got up and moved just to sit with me so I wouldn't have to eat alone. We talked about how I would be going abroad and how you were considering going abroad next year. My heart breaks as I think about how you won't get to do that. I'll never understand why you left this Earth so soon. You had so much life in you and were always ready to do anything. I would give anything to have one more lunch with you. Just one more conversation, take one more picture.<br />
<br />
I will never understand why this has happened. We live in such a cruel world and today one of the best guys I've ever known has died for no reason at all. I would give anything to be with my friends who are grieving right now. Ben Thompson, Ben Connor, Natalie, Tyler, Ashley, Luke, Hayden, Brendan, Grant, Joey and so many more please know that I would give anything to be able to give you each a big hug right now. I would fly home in a heartbeat just to sit and cry with you all today. I love you all so much and am keeping you in my prayers along with Jon's whole family. God is with us even when we are in the midst of a tragedy. "The storms in life prove the strength of our Anchor".<br />
<br />
Thank you for all the good times, the smiles, and the laughs, Jon. You will always be in our hearts and will not be forgotten. We love you.<br />
<br />

Just a little encouragement for this Thursday morning. Photo taken on our trip last summer to Myrtle Beach with the best women in my life (Mom, Aunt Ruthie and my sweet Mimi).</div>

I want to start by dedicating this post to my favorite redhead/Irish of all time (minus my dad, obviously ;)), Mariah Scilley. I have never wanted to go home more than on Wednesday night when Mariah was at Reds Opening Night without me. I miss my wife so much and cannot wait until we can do all things Reds baseball together when I get home. Somehow I was still able to be at the game on Wednesday in spirit. My heart and joy in one picture (Mariah and Great American Ballpark).</div>

Thursday night after everyone finished their classes for the day, all of us Regina Margherita girls (Tina, both Christines, Megan and Debra) took off to catch our flight to Dublin, Ireland. Our flight was scheduled to take off at 9:55 but unfortunately, we had almost a 3 hour delay and didn't take off until almost 12:30. Luckily, we gained an hour traveling to Ireland so we still got there late, but not as late as it seemed. We stayed at the Spire Hostel which is in the city center and is named after one of Dublin's most famous monuments that is a large stainless steel needle and also referred to as the Monument of Light. </div>

For our first full day in Ireland, we were scheduled to take a 3 hour walking tour around the city. We had to get our Starbucks before we started our day. Just like in Paris, we had to get it as much as possible since there are no Starbucks in Italy.The weather for us was perfect for the walking tour and not rainy and cold like most days in Ireland. The tour took us to all major spots around the city. Including, The Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, Trinity College, the stairs that P.S. I Love You was filmed at, and Temple Bar area. </div>

Later that day, we had free tickets to tour the Guinness Factory which is the number one tourist attraction in Ireland. The seven floors are continuously updated, telling the heritage of Guinness and how it has spread its popularity all over the world. The seven floors make a full pint glass and on the top floor is the Sky Bar that gives you a panorama view of Dublin. </div>

Early the next morning, we got up to catch a bus that took us on a full-day tour to the Cliffs of Moher. As we took the 4 hour bus ride, we got to see some beautiful country away from the city life. We took a pit stop on the way and stopped at the Barack Obama plaza in Gallway between Dublin and Limerick. LOLOLOL. The bus driver told us that Obama is said to have a great-great-great grandfather that immigrated from Ireland to New York years ago and in 2011 Obama visited Gallway while him and the First Lady visited Ireland.</div>

Once we finally made it to the Cliffs of Moher, the sun was shining and we were able to have great (but extremely windy) weather. We saw some storm clouds roll in at one point, but it blew right over us and barely missed us. It was amazing to see the rain blow over the Atlantic Ocean like that. </div>

The Cliffs were so beautiful and one of the coolest things I've ever seen. We spent some time there to see both views, but after a while of that wind, we were ready to warm up and keep going. We stopped for lunch at a local pub in Doolin. After lunch, we made another pit stop along the coast to see the limestone shore at Galway Bay. </div>

Ireland has been surprisingly my favorite trip that we've taken so far. Everyone in Ireland was so nice and friendly, the food was amazing, all of our travels went smoothly and we all had a great time together as usual. Anytime all of us are together, we have a great time and I think we can all agree that this is another trip we will never forget. There are so many more great pictures that I haven't even included. </div>

And I can't forget my girls back home. Brooke, I wish so badly that somehow I could have still made it to your bridal shower on Saturday. Seeing pictures of all of you together without me was so hard. But I absolutely cannot wait to stand next to you as you get married in June. I love you all to the moon and back and miss you every day!!!</div>

There is no two other people that I would rather have spent the last 5-6 days on an island that had no wifi with. Tina and Christine S and I have had this trip to Greece booked since the second week that we have been in Milan and it has been one of our most anticipated weekends. On Wednesday we left Milan, took a train to Florence and stayed the night there so we could meet the Bus2Alps group early in the morning on Thursday. Since Tina and I have never been to Florence, Christine showed us the Duomo and a little bit of the main square that night. </div>

Thursday we got up and we met the group early in the morning at the Florence train station and took a 4 hour bus ride down to the coast. From there, we got on the 17 hour boat that would take us into Greece. After the boat ride, we took another 2 hour ferry to Corfu where we took a bus to the Pink Palace. The scenery of every boat, bus, etc was so so beautiful and was great to see. A lot of traveling, but definitely worth it. After we finally got checked in our room, we decided to relax on the beach the rest of the day. It wasn't very hot outside, but warm enough to get some sun and it was the best day of weather we had so we made the right decision.</div>

The second day we were in Greece, the hotel was offering a 6 hour boat ride to see some more parts of Greece. The boat took us to our own private island for a couple of hours. The weather was cooler Saturday, but Christine and I braved the cold and jumped in the water anyway. The water was so clear and we got to experience some of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After dinner that night the Palace put on a toga party for all of us and did some traditional Greek dancing / plate smashing. Unfortunately, the hotel had terrible wifi so the whole night my stomach was in knots because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to get to watch the Kentucky game. Because we were with a trip of all study abroad students, there were more people that wanted to watch the game so the lobby streamed the game for us and got it on the TV so we were able to all watch it. Because of the time difference and running on very little sleep, I woke up around 5am and made it down at halftime to finish the rest of the game. Very disappointed with the outcome, I couldn't go back to sleep and just roughed it the rest of the day.</div>

Once I started to recover from the Kentucky game (couldn't even focus on the fact that it was Easter Sunday), we signed up to go four-wheeling for the day. It was rainy and cloudy, and Christine fell off her four-wheeler, but it was such a beautiful way to spend our last day in Greece. We got to ride through the town and stopped a several scenic views to see the ocean. We also saved 3 puppies that were abandoned in the cold. We named them after Greek gods (only fitting)- Zeus, Poseidon and Hurcules. </div>

Not only did I miss Kentucky in the Final Four, but I also missed Reds Opening Day for the first time in 3 years. AND it quite possibly was one of the best Opening Day games in years. BUT, who can say that they spent Easter Weekend in Greece with two of their best friends? And who can say that they watched Kentucky play in the semi finals on a 10-inch tv in the lobby of a hotel with only 5 other people in Corfu at 5am? I'll take it. </div>

After 8 buses, 5 different beds, 4 boats, 2 hostiles, 1 train and 6 days later, we FINALLY made it back to Milan safely. It was a crazy adventure and extremely tiring, but we will remember this trip forever. Some of the craziest stories that you only had to be there to believe. I love both of these girls and we spent half of our time talking about how lucky we are to have each other. Next stop in two days.. IRELAND. </div>

I was totally in my element today as I got to bring out my love of photography. Tina and Chris and I are in a black and white darkroom photography class here at IED and today we were able to print some of our images that we've shot over the last couple of weeks. Last semester at UK, I took color darkroom which, may sound similar but is TOTALLY different than black and white darkroom photography. I won't go into details but even though I have a little experience working in the darkroom, I am still learning so much from this class. Our teacher is Piero De Grossi who studied photography in New York and has been a photographer for over 30 years. I love being able to learn from him and see how he works with the camera. The girls and I have slowly, but surely caught on to the developing process and are starting to become better photographers. Here is my first print done in the black and white darkroom for this class (you can't get the full effect since I took this picture on my iPhone)..</div>

Keeping the photography theme, Debra and I are taking a History of Fashion Photography class here at IED also and it is by far our favorite class. Our teacher is super nice and knows a lot about former and present fashion photographers. Considering that this is the career that I want to go into, I definitely enjoy it (not just because we get to watch documentaries about Vogue every class). Today, he took us to the David Bailey Stardust exhibition that is being held in Milan temporarily. I normally do not enjoy art exhibitions at all, but this one was worth my money. David Bailey is a fashion photographer who has worked with everyone from Kate Moss to Mick Jagger. The exhibition held over 250 of his photos from when he toured with the Rolling Stones, when he shot fashion icons, when he visited Papua New Guinea and many more. Here are some photos of the exhibition that I found online..</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Woke up this morning in a great mood for two reasons; God is good and my Cats are headed to the FINAL FOUR! I have been trying my best to keep up with Kentucky as much as possible but last night was the hardest for me. I couldn't get a link to watch the game until the last minute of the game. It was 5am in Italy by the time the game was over and I had to force myself to go to sleep considering the fact that everyone had already been asleep for 3+ hours and no one was up to celebrate our victory with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been the most beautiful Palm Sunday and I was reminded by some of my favorite songs this morning of the victory of that I have in Jesus, my savior forever. I am so blessed and can not even begin to thank God for everything he does for me and how he loves me. I have been really challenged to use this time that I am here to grow in my walk with God and I am thankful for the people in my life the encourage me and support me in my walk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus.. when I am alone, give me Jesus.. You can have all this world but give me Jesus." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"This is amazing grace, this is unfailing love, that you would take my place, that you would bear my cross. You lay down your life that I may be set free, Jesus I sing for all that you've done for me."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yesterday, Derbra, Meggy. Christine Leigh, Christine O and I traveled to Torino to explore that town. Andrea, our site director, said that Torino is one of his favorite places in Italy. We are trying to make our way to small towns around Italy before we begin our month full of big trips to other countries. We started the day with coffee and pastries and made our way around to see the major landmarks around town. Torino has a beautiful, distant view of the Swiss Alps that was unfortunately too distant to get a good picture of. Its just one of those views that wouldn't have been done justice by a picture. </div>

(Been thinking about this girl a lot lately. We sat next to each other on the plane over here to Milan and in that moment of meeting her, we both knew that these four months were going to be good. Two months later, we haven't changed our minds. I love this girl and her amazing personality. I can't get over how great God was for sitting us next to each other on January 31.)</div>

After relaxing in the park we visited the famous Egyptian museum in the city center. These pieces have been in Torino since 1824 and are still a major attraction of all travelers to Italy. We noticed that Torino must have held a race that morning, because we saw a bunch of runners and tents set up everywhere. Also, on our way to the Egyptian museum, we passed a huge Zumba class going on. Debra and I obviously had to join. I can now check "Do Zumba unexpectedly in a random Italian city" off of my non-existent bucket list. </div>

We had a great day, with great weather and all left a little sunburned after being sun-deprived for so long. At the end of our day, we found a hidden gem along a back street. It was a popcorn shop with bacon, pizza, cheese, chocolate, etc. flavored popcorn. We couldn't pass it up after sampling every flavor. Plus the owner spoke really good English and loved us so we were happy to support her. </div>

Yesterday, Natalie, Christine O, Tina, Megan and I decided to take a day trip to see something new. We traveled an hour by train to Genoa, Italy. It is one of Europe's largest cities on the Mediterranean and is Italy's largest seaport. It is said to have the most beautiful sunset in all of Italy. Even though it was in the 60's and cloudy for the second half of the day, it was still breathtaking and it felt so good to see palm trees and be somewhere coastal. The rain held off and allowed us to have a great day exploring the city.</div>
<div>
When we got off the train, we made our way down to the area around the docks to see the water.<br />

We then stumbled upon the overlook at Spianota Castelletto, which is a beautiful scenic panoramic view of the city. While we were waiting in line to buy tickets, there were two people in front of us speaking English so one of the girls asked where they were from. The guy said "Well, I am from Kentucky..." I immediately screamed and asked him what part he was from. Turns out he goes to Transylvania University and is studying in France and just happened to be visiting Italy that day. We told him that we were studying in Milan and just visiting Genoa for the day. He said that they were planning on going to Milan but decided to visit there instead. It is such a small world. What are the odds? I think I scared him a little when I screamed at him for saying he was from Kentucky... oh well. </div>

One of my favorite parts of the day had to be when we came across a Volkswagen bug that was painted like an Italian city. As we were being our normal, tourist-y selves, taking thousands of pictures with the car, the owner came to it and let us sit inside to take better photos. Anyone that knows me, knows that I loved my bug more than anything and I still miss it to this day. If I could have this car in the States, I would 100% be driving it.</div>

We shopped a little, got our necessary postcards and then had dinner at Osteria il Cadraio. Tina and Natalie got fish, which was fantastic, and the rest of us got pasta which was also fantastic. We definitely picked the right place to have our only meal in Genoa. After dinner, we took a cab to the famous Boccadasse Coast. It was absolutely beautiful. We thought the overlook was amazing, but this view was unforgettable. I think we took about 800 pictures each. I could have stayed there for days and not gotten tired of that view. </div>

We finished the day with some of the best gelato that we've ever had and for the first time ever, we traveled somewhere and had ALMOST 0 problems. We had the best time together and it was one of the most enjoyable days I've had since we've been here. I can't wait to go back when its warmer. I LOVE YOU, GENO(VI)A<3</div>

Its called Pizza AM and the minute we walked in the door the greeted us with samples. It was Natalie, Tina, Christine S and I so we did the sampler special. They served us four pizzas with four slices a piece. Every pizza was amazing and we couldn't even pick a favorite. By far the best place we have been to eat since we have been in Italy with the best service, too.<br />

After discovering the best food in Milan, we visited the Arco della Pace and the Sforzesco Castle for the first time. The weather made for the perfect day to walk around and find new places in the city. In between the castle and the arch is a huge park to exercise or hang out in. There were tons of people there with their dogs enjoying the weather. Definitely a perfect way to spend a sunny day in the city. While we were at the castle, we asked some girls to take our picture for us and when we heard that they were American, I asked them where they were from. Turns out one of them goes to Oneonta in New York which is where Christine, Christine, Megan, Meghan and Natalie all go to school. The other two girls were from UConn and they were visiting Milan form Dublin for a day while on their Spring Vacation. Such a small world. </div>

On Saturday, we had another perfect, sunny day in the 50's. I had to get out and do something while the other girls worked on their class project, so I decided to take a bike ride from our apartment and go from one end of town to the other. I ended up finding even more spots for us to go to and some restaurants we have been looking for as well.<br />

Last night was a very sad night for me. I had to "watch" history be made on espn.com instead of being at Rupp Arena as the Cats beat Florida and finished the regular season undefeated. I may live half way around the world, but my heart is still in KY cheering with the BIG BLUE NATION. Now go win the 2015 National Championship, boys.<br />

This past weekend marked one month since arriving in Milan. I truly cannot believe that its already been a month since I left Kentucky. Time is definitely flying by (which, I knew it would) but we are making the most of it. It is finally starting to warm up (unlike it is back home), which is making going out all day a lot more enjoyable.</div>

I had a familiar face visit last Tuesday, which was nice. Dr. Spillman from the Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles department at UK, along with the other girls' professors, came with KEI to check out the program, where we live, our classes, etc. It was so great talking with her and showing her how awesome it is here. She has helped me immensely with this whole process and has been so nice to make sure that I get all of the classes that I need to graduate on time.</div>

In honor of Fashion Week and in honor of our one month anniversary together, all of us girls (minus Meggy Dee who is spending the weekend in Florence) went to the Armani Lounge Friday night. Shout out to Meghan for always knowing connections. </div>

Saturday night we went to Aperitivo at the Sheraton Diana Majestic Milano. It was so beautiful there, especially outside which we sat at even though its still technically winter. (Christine O and I were twinning and winning the whole weekend. First with the red and then with the black hat ensembles).<br />

After hitting up the Sheraton, we went to a Fashion Week Event. It was an open showroom for a local Italian designer. While we were looking around, taking pictures, etc, one guy started talking to us asking us where we are from and why we are in Milan. He worked for a blogger and was sharing with us a little bit about how to succeed in the fashion world. The first word of advice that he gave us was "don't eat". The first place we went after leaving the showroom was to get Gelato.. HAHA (the best gelato too.. they fill the cone up with melted, warm chocolate and then put the gelato on top + whipped cream).</div>

Then, on Sunday, it was a beautiful day with SPRING temperatures, so we walked around and tried (and failed) to find some other showrooms. In our failed attempt to find what we were looking for, we walked on Montenapoleone Street and saw the designer's art on the ground that is only around during Fashion Week. Various designers have their own individual squares lining the streets that are unique to the brands. Some of the ones we passed included Missoni, Valentino, Moschino, Alberta Ferretti, etc. </div>

Fashion Week in Milano officially started yesterday, Feb 25, 2015. However, it "unofficially" kicked off Tuesday night and the girls and I got a surprise email from Bruno at IED inviting us to the Next Generation runway show after party (huge shout out to Bruno). The event was promoted by the Chamber of Commerce in Milano and was dedicated to young designers, thirty years or less, in search for a new generation of stylists.The after party was hosted by Chiara Ferragni who is from <a href="http://theblondesalad.com/">theblondesalad.com</a> which is one of the most famous fashion blogs in the world. The event featured designs from Claudio Cutugno, whom we got to meet and interact with. It was a great opportunity and was something we all look forward to doing again. </div>

"Paris is always a good idea"-Audrey Hepburn<br />
<br />
"If you would've told me that I could go to Paris for free but I had to do everything in two days, walk in the cold, in heels, with very little sleep.. I don't think I would've done it"-Tina the night before we left Paris. We physically are so broken. Christine thinks she broke her toe, I couldn't move my left knee, and if Tina would've had to walk in her shoes for one more step, I think she would've just slept on the ground. Our trip to Paris may have been the craziest thing we've ever been through, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that it was one of the BEST experiences of our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday afternoon, we headed to the train station, where we ran frantically looking for the other girls. Not having our phones to contact each other is almost killing us. After we finally got to meet up with everyone, we took our hour long bus to the Milan airport, and boarded our flight to Paris. The flight was beautiful, right around sunset and with all of our excitement to be in France, we could barely even relax. After our touchdown in France, we took another hour long bus ride to the metro to get to our apartment. The trip just to get settled in was definitely complicated and a little rough, but it was so worth it. Our apartment was the perfect size for all 7 of us. (HUGE shout out to Natalie and Meghan for organizing everything for us). We immediately dropped our bags and turned right back around to eat dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found the perfect little diner with American food and it was absolutely incredible (that's not just because we were starving either). Surprisingly, 100% better than anything we've had so far in Italy (had to order FRENCH fries, duh). It was the perfect start to our Parisian adventures.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first full day in Paris was JAM PACKED.. we did it ALL. It started off with some breakfast and some really foreign Starbucks. Italy is against all Starbucks so having that for the first time in a few weeks was such a treat. Also, the Starbucks in Paris puts every other Starbucks to shame. It was so beautiful, I really didn't think I was in Starbucks, haha. After getting our coffee, we took a two hour walking tour that started at the Paris Opera House and ended with a far away view of the Eiffel Tour. We were numb by the end of it, but it was a great way to see the city. We were also on that tour with some people for Atlanta. I heard them talk and immediately knew they were from the south somewhere, so I had to ask them. It was definitely nice to interact with someone from the USA.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as our walking tour ended, Christine and Tina and I made our way to Disneyland Paris! Tina and I knew that was one thing that we wanted to while we were in Paris and the more we talked about it, the more Christine became interested. And I think it was the best decision she ever made. It was her first ever Disney experience, which made it even more fun for Tina and I. Watching her see everything for the first time ever was so exciting. We had just enough time to walk around and see everything, shop and see the light show when the park was closing. My favorite parts were the inside of the castle which was all Sleeping Beauty, and they had a walk-through story of Aladdin. It had 3-D versions of every scene with the music playing in the background (RIP Robin WIlliams). Literally the happiest place on Earth even in Paris.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This first day in Paris had already been incredible and it still wasn't over. We were not going to sleep that night without seeing the Eiffel Tower. So as soon as we got back from Disney, we all went back out the door to find the Eiffel Tower. We got off a stop on the metro too early so we had to search to find it, Then, all of a sudden through two buildings, we saw it for the first time, twinkling. All 7 of us immediately started screaming and running toward it. None of us will ever forget that moment. Truly one of the absolute best days of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For our last day in Paris, we went to the Palace of Versailles. Before we went, we had to get Starbucks again, obviously. And, Tina and I tried macaroons for the first time. We had to since we were in France, right? Versailles, Kentucky may have the same name but it is not even a close second. Hey Dad, maybe you should move to the real Versailles ;) The palace was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in person..second to the Eiffel Tower, of course. I wish Memaw and Big John could've been there to see all of the history. I know they could've spent hours in there and still not gotten through all of it. I wish Kiki could've seen the gardens even though all of her greenery is prettier. As beautiful as it was, we all wish we could go back and see it in the Spring when all of the fountains are on. I can't imagine what it would look like then.</div>

After the Palace, we headed back to the Eiffel Tower to see it for the first time during the day. It had been cloudy all day, and just when we got there, some blue sky came through. We took all of our necessary pictures and then had dinner around the corner. Every meal in France seriously knocked it out of the park. The food there was just incredible.</div>

We had done all we needed to do and were incredibly exhausted. Doing everything in two days, in a place that we weren't familiar with at all was so rough, but I would not have traded one second of it. I love all of these girls and bonding with them over our first trip trip to one of the best and most beautiful cities in the world was something we will never forget. I am truly thankful for God keeping us safe and giving me these girls to take amazing adventures with.</div>

I may not be homesick, but I still miss the people that are important to me. I have never been away from my family for very long at all, especially not for 4 months in another country. Celebrating Valentine's here in Italy with my girls eating sushi and watching RomComs is still a great way to spend the day, but they sure don't replace my favorite people back home. I don't know how I'm surviving, but I know they are happy for me and I'm sure I miss them more than they miss me. So here's to my Valentine's...<br />

Mom and Dad, my Valentines since day 1. Thank you for remembering me and still sending me cards all the way here in Milan. I am so thankful for your constant love and support. Ryan, I know you will never read this and you don't care anyway, but I love you (sometimes) and miss laughing about stupid stuff together and having everyone stare at us wondering what we are talking about.<br />

Bob and Kiki, I miss you more than I miss Evaroni's pizza. I wish so badly I could pick up the phone and call you and tell you every detail about Italy. Kiki, you would love the view here, its so beautiful. Bob, I know you would love the french fries, they're even better than Penn Station :). I would love to fly you all over here and take you shopping and show you the amazing architecture and buy you some Gelato. There aren't enough thank you's in the world that would suffice for you all. I love you so much.</div>

Aunt Ruthie and Juncle Ig Bon, every time I see a dog here I think of you two (and Howie, of course).. which, is a lot because dogs are allowed everywhere here. They are no Howie, though. Big John, I wish you were here to protect me with all of your TEOTWAWKI gear. Aunt Ruthie, I wish you could come meet all of the girls here, they would love you. Memaw, I know I don't have a picture of you on here, but that doesn't mean I don't miss you. I know you are learning more about Milan than I am and probably more than I will learn even while I'm here. You would be blown away by the buildings and the history here. It's breathtaking. I would love for you to be here with me so I could show you around.<br />

Whitney Winters, you probably won't read this and you won't like it anyway so I'm putting the best picture that I have of you on here. I don't miss you, I don't love you and don't care about what you are doing in America. Just kidding, you're my soul mate and I will die not seeing you until June. You will always be my Valentine.

I know that you're all thinking that this is going to be dedicated to the large man in the center of this picture. Well, its not. This is to Mariah, Chelsie and Jared squeezed in there at the very bottom. There will be no worse feeling than experiencing March Madness alone in Italy without you all. Mariah, my wife, no one here understands our language, our humor, etc. Chelsie, every time I hear Sam Hunt I think about you. I have to listen to my country music alone considering all of these girls are from the North. Jared, my little blonde stallion, hurry up an kill those internship interviews and show them who's boss so you can come visit me in Italy. I love all of you, my twinkling threesome.</div>

My wonderful roommates at 220, Ashley and Macey.. and sometimes Tyler and Mariah. Thank you all for getting Katja to take my place while I am gone. We all know that she is a lot more fun, energetic and clearly way cuter than me. Living with other people just feels weird. I am so excited that we will all be together for another year. Don't forget about the girl that is supposed to be in room C.<br />

The Muscle Barn, my beautiful, hot, smoking, luscious chunks of man. There is not one person here in Italy that will even come close to making me feel like more of an idiot than you all do.

And last but not least, my wildcats. I don't miss walking through freezing temperatures in 4 layers, walking into the classroom building sweating because the heat is 4 million degrees, walking across the Newtown bridge, worrying about getting my car towed or getting a parking ticket, or sitting in the balcony of memorial just to scroll through Twitter/Instagram for an hour and fifteen minutes. But, I do miss (so so badly) watching the best basketball team in the country kick butt. I miss hearing<br />
"My Old Kentucky Home", "On, On, U of K.." and I miss watching a sea of blue all rise to their feet after Aaron Harrison drops a three. I can't handle not being around crazy fans. I need it, I live for it. I hope that I get to spend the entire month of March staying up until 6am just to know the score of the games. I love you, BBN. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, also, to the crazy guy that used to wear this kitty uniform, Ross Turner. I miss you. I wish that you could be here today to eat all-you-can-eat sushi with me. I know you're in high demand in Ashland, Ky but you can't forget about me. I'll be back and ready to hit that big city before you know it.</div>
<div>
<br />
There are so many more people not mentioned that I love and miss every day. So to everyone,</div>

We have successfully completed our first week of classes. Nothing too hard or demanding yet. This pic below is from our Made in Italy class that only us KEI girls have. We are learning about products and brands from Italy and what it means to buy Italian. Even though all of our classes are 3+ hours a piece, I can't complain about anything. I mean, how many people get to sit and learn about Gucci all day? I won't know how to handle myself whenever I go back to Kentucky and have to take basic business classes again.</div>

Tuesday before the girls had class, we met up with our adorable new German friend, Caroline. She took us past the Duomo to Colonne di San Lorenzo which is just another beautiful area in the center of Milan. Caroline just came here for this semester, but she lived here some last year so she is a lot more familiar with the city. Its pretty great having someone that can show us new places.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Just down the street from the Duomo is my new addiction, Amsterdam Chips. Anyone that knows me knows that my all-time-favorite food is french fries and this is literally a restaurant that only sells french fries. YES PLEASE. It will be so hard for me to go shopping at the Duomo now and NOT go here. </span></div>

The weather here has been so much nicer this week than last. I'm praying that we don't have a relapse and go back into the nasty winter weather. I emailed one of my favorite MAT professors yesterday and she said all that I am missing in Kentucky is cold weather. Haha, I can definitely say that I am NOT missing that. Even though this city is beautiful in any weather, it is just so much more beautiful when the sun is out. I am dying for Spring.</div>

Today was my official first day of classes here in Milan (which is what I'm here for, right?). Only Meghan and I started today, so the other girls got the day off, but I'm not mad about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our class today was Art in Fashion, which will be a basic art history course. We plan on visiting various art galleries around Milan, which I am looking forward to. Luckily, our class is small and everyone speaks English. But, they are from all over the world. 2 from China, 1 from Colombia, Germany, Russia, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My morning definitely started on a positive note. It hasn't been sunny at all here except for the first day we were here, and today it was 50 degrees with a whole lot of sunshine. It definitely made getting up for a 9am class a lot easier, especially when its still only 3am back at home. </div>

When we actually got to school the gates were locked for a while, so we clearly had to take some first day selfies; because did you really start your first day of school if you didn't post a picture of it?</div>

After having a great first class and spending the afternoon shopping, all of us girls spent the evening planning some great trips for the weeks ahead. I also got to watch the sunset out of my window for the first time. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view, it is breathtaking.</div>
